2015 January Update

The selection lists were generated before the January 27 market opening. Price histories, adjusted for splits and dividends, were downloaded from Yahoo.

The January Barometer was negative. I will start defensive action on April 10 and end it on October 27. All stocks and call options in the Comprehensive Strategy portfolios will be hedged with put options. Everything in the Easy Strategy portfolio will be sold. The Real Estate Fund and Irregular portfolios will not be defended.

I have been unable to become fully invested since I increased the tranche size from $20,000 to $30,000 on the 2014 June update. Consequently, I am increasing the tranche size for all portfolios from $30,000 to $50,000.
